Salinity tolerance in the halophyte species Cakile maritima from the Apulia region, southern Italy
The results indicate that <i>C. maritima</i> employs a complex protective strategy involving morphological adjustments, selective ion accumulation, efficient photoprotection, maintained gas exchange, and a potent antioxidant system to mitigate salinity stress, demonstrating its strong potential for biosaline agriculture.
